Chapter 294: Theory of Survival and Reproduction

Yu Yifeng got up from the bed, he wanted to go out for a walk...

As the leader of the new human civilization, he undoubtedly bears the greatest pressure.

Although there is still a long, long, long time before the energy crisis, even... it is not a problem that their generation or the next generation needs to think about!

"Yes, it is not a problem we should think about." Yu Yifeng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

However, before the demise of the Nix civilization, all members thought so, and then... they died.

"The new human civilization must never take this old path!" He clenched his fists and waved them in front of his chest.

"But to conquer this "big filter", the entire civilization has to think about things thousands or tens of thousands of years later. This is simply outrageous..."

The more he thought about it, the more he felt the cruelty of the "big filter"... He felt his temples throbbing, and he felt a splitting headache, as if the boiling blood in his body was about to burst out.

"I can't sleep at all..."

Yu Yifeng put on his clothes, covered his head with one hand, and walked out of the room.

There were two soldiers on guard outside the door. When they saw Yu Yifeng, they were startled and almost didn't react.

A second later, one of them was about to raise his rifle and stand guard, while the other one who reacted faster quickly held him down and whispered, "It's the captain, don't be nervous!"

It was late at night, and it was almost one o'clock in the morning. A person suddenly appeared behind them, and the two soldiers on night duty couldn't help but be nervous.

Yu Yifeng didn't blame them, and smiled at them, "It's nothing, I just couldn't sleep and came out for a walk, nothing else... You can go back and rest early today, just say it's my order."

"Go back, go back."

"Yes!"

The two soldiers immediately saluted, and at the same time they were very curious: Why are more and more people suffering from insomnia tonight?

What happened?

Watching the two soldiers walk into the barracks, Yu Yifeng also walked around in this large building.

Along the way, he met several scientists who were distracted.

They all had their heads down, and it was unknown what they were thinking. Some of them were drinking from bottles, and some were smoking, and the sparks were as dim as stars.

Yu Yifeng casually greeted them and then separated without saying a word.

Some things are hard to express with words, so it is better to be silent...

Yu Yifeng suddenly felt that he had nowhere to go. At this moment, he didn't even have anyone to communicate with. He was really depressed.

Unknowingly, he walked to the fourth floor...

He saw a room in front of him that had not turned off the lights. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked forward and knocked on the door.

The person inside heard the knock and spent a long time, as if looking through the cat's eye.

After seeing the specific appearance of the person knocking on the door, she slowly opened the door.

Yuriko was wearing a loose pajamas and a pair of pink cotton slippers on her feet, but there was no sleepiness between her eyes. It was past one in the morning, and she still hadn't slept. Perhaps she was troubled by something...

When she saw Yu Yifeng, she still said with a cold expression: "What's the matter? Why aren't you sleeping so late?"

Yu Yifeng rubbed his temples and said directly: "I can't sleep, I'm stressed, and I want to find someone to chat. Anyway, you haven't slept yet..."

Under the dim light, her expression could not be seen. She thought for a moment and slightly made way: "Come in."

Then she quickly added: "I don't want to discuss any issues!"

Yu Yifeng wanted to say something, but after hearing this, he held back. He knew what "I don't want to discuss" specifically meant... Of course, he was not here to take advantage, but to discuss the problem seriously.

He found a chair and sat down casually, observing carefully.

This small room is only about 20 square meters, but it is extremely clean inside, and everything is tidied in an orderly manner, unlike some scientists who are sloppy.

This is a good advantage.

Her personal computer screen was on, with a profound paper on electromagnetism on it. Maybe she had just been studying this thing until late at night...

"Drink water."

She hurriedly made a cup of tea and poured it for Yu Yifeng. At this time, she seemed to think of something and hurriedly put on a coat. It seemed that she was only wearing pajamas just now, which was too indecent.

This made Yu Yifeng a little regretful...

"I don't really want to discuss it..."

She said with a little embarrassment, and secretly looked down again, not knowing whether she was suspected of exposing herself just now.

However, Yuriko's tone had softened slightly, from "don't want to" to "don't really want to".

In just such a short time, Yu Yifeng felt that the psychological pressure was much less. He picked up the cup and took a sip of water, brewing what he wanted to say.

After all, he is not steel. In essence, he is still a carbonyl organism, and his psychological activities are not much different from normal humans. As long as you are a human, you have a limit to bear and are eager to keep warm together.

The big filter, an unprecedented huge problem, is a different concept to bear alone and to bear it together with two people.

"Really not discussing it?" Yu Yifeng asked.

Yuriko was silent for a while and touched her smooth hair.

She frowned slightly and sighed again: "You can talk..."

After hearing this, Yu Yifeng enthusiastically recounted his thoughts on the "Great Filter".

The problem of technological barriers is not unsolvable, but it is essentially a social problem. Social problems are too complicated, not just one aspect. If you really want to talk about it, you can write a thick book.

These social problems are actually quite difficult to solve. How difficult are they? It's as difficult as getting Americans to believe in and realize communism!

And social problems are essentially the problem of genetic inferiority... Genetic problems are even more difficult to solve.

So... it is extremely difficult to solve this problem.

"According to what you said, the philosophical system of species genes includes the two aspects of 'survival' and 'reproduction'?" Yuriko also sat down, sitting face to face with Yu Yifeng, holding her chin and thinking.

Yu Yifeng said seriously: "Yes, I think that most of human behavior can be attributed to 'survival' and 'reproduction', and natural selection and sexual selection correspond to the former and the latter respectively."

"Surviving as a living thing and leaving your genes to the next generation actually completes the glorious mission of living things. Just like many insects and wild animals, isn't the hard life just for survival and reproduction?"

"Isn't that the meaning of life?"

"It's just that the meaning of life has been attached to many noble labels by us. The development of civilization has given humans more choices and derived more things. Humans have diversified their life goals, but in essence, they still cannot escape the two philosophical viewpoints of 'survival' and 'reproduction'."

"So from the perspective of the essence of genes, there is not much difference between humans and other animals. They all use 'survival' and 'reproduction' as the driving force of behavior. Our every move is for these two points... and there is not much difference from Paramecium."

"'Survival' and 'reproduction', is this the meaning of life?" Yuriko thought about it in a daze, but she couldn't think of a reason to refute it, and she was still thinking.
